Re: 1980`s RAF Group Build Chat Thread
I'd like to join in on this one please mate.
I don't know with what yet, but I'm sure I'll find something by the start date.
I have in the stash:
Hercules
Hunter
Tornado
S.A Bulldog
Avro Shackleton
Avro Vulcan
Jet Provost
Whirlwind
Domminie
Lightning
Puma.
I've just got to make sure one of them has the correct markings!

Re: 1980`s RAF Group Build Chat Thread
I wouldn't mind having a shot at this. All my kits are still in large boxes after a house move but I know I have many possible candidates - somewhere.
Re: 1980`s RAF Group Build Chat Thread
Sorry i've been away for a bit making models of choo choo's I've just looked in the stash for an aircraft type that i've not seen mentioned and i've selected a 11sqn Lightning F6 in wrap around and a 5sqn Lightning F6 in grey with the red spine. Both 1/72 Revel, ex Frog kits. I'll start them once i've finished my little diesel shunter.

Hunter T7 well on the way, photos up soon I hope (computer is dead at the moment - I'm using my daughter's laptop to post this). If timepermits I'm aiming to do an FGA9 also as I've found a suitable photo and I've got the decals in the stash.
